I'm in Hong Kong at the moment. We came over to watch the rugby sevens and have had a great time. We are now off to Thailand for a bit of 'doing nothing" before going to Singapore to stay with our son and family and then back to "chilly" UK. I love Hong Kong. People from all over the world came for the rugby and turned it into one big party.

 In 2004 I had to retire due to ill health & disability so thought I would never be able to afford a holiday again as I was relying on my pension to get by which barely paid the bills. It could be very boring being stuck in the house 24/7 & after going on a pain management course the therapists suggested taking up a hobby which would take my mind off the pain but something that I could do on a good day so I started to enter competitions. I found that I was winning lots of prizes & whenever I received a winning email or letter or an unexpected prize it really brightened up my day. I never expected to win a holiday in my wildest dreams as I’d heard fellow compers say that they’d been trying to win a holiday for years but never managed to win one so imagine my delight when, in February 2011, I received a phone call from the Daily Mail to say I’d won an all expenses 5 star trip to Kenya. As an avid wildlife lover I was over the moon. I took my sister along & we both had the most amazing time. I was worried about how I would cope, being disabled, but they really looked after me. We had our own driver who couldn’t do enough for me, I was provided with a wheelchair at every location & they even carried me in it when the terrain was too rough. We visited an elephant orphanage, giraffe centre & a tea plantation but the highlight of the trip, apart from the amazing hotel & food, was when we had a VIP reception to meet the celebrities who had walked across the desert for Comic Relief. It was my birthday that day & I got a lovely kiss off the gorgeous Olly Murs & Dermot O’Leary. I was the envy of all my friends.

Last June we decided to take our camper van to Orkney & Shetland. for a month. We mostly do wild camping which means just stopping somewhere for the night (not in a campsite). The ferry from mainland Scotland is just 1 1/2 hours to Stromness orkney. We spent 2 weeks touring as many of the amazing Norse & prehistoric sites that are so numerous on Orkney. There are so many.many older and in better condition than Stonehenge . We camped in a different spot every night. All the locals were extremely friendly and very helpful. 

Then it was time to take the ferry from Kirkwall to Lerwick Shetland. We were a little worried about the crossing as it takes 8 hours overnight. and Bramble our English Setter had to stay in the van. But 'No Problem' he was still asleep when we returned to the van!     Shetland! what an amazing place, So wild, so beautiful and sooo windy!! A bird watchers paradise with hidden beaches, magnificent cliffs , and for Barbara, my wife a knitters paradise.

Some of the night stops were stunning. this one in particular..

The highlight was a visit to Herma Ness RSPB reserve on the island of Unst and to the furthermost northerly point in Great Britain and the lighthouse of Muckle Flugga, what a wild place this is with an enormous Gannet colony, and being dive bombed by Great Skuas as they guard their nests.

We Love Shetland so much, the wildness of its landscape the friendliness of its people and the way they keep alive the traditions and crafts. We are going back again this year but spending 4 weeks in Shetland.

I hope the pictures come in the right order, if not I'm sure you can  sort them out.

I do like the sound of your 'wild camping' holiday. I can see you had a great time. How exciting just to get in your camper van and drive to wherever you like. The Shetlands look really beautiful. Excellent photos. Jenny

My best holiday is a trip to WDW Florida. it is for all ages, not just for children. The parks are wonderful, and have rides for all ages, both thrilling and easy going. My fav park was Typhoon Lagoon, there you could swim in the worlds largest wave pool, relax under the palm trees, or take a lovely trip on the big tyres on the lazy river. We also went to Kennedy Space Centre, which was wonderful, and being a huge Harry Potter fan, the Harry potter world, and walking through "Hogwarts was wonderful.
